Reese's Last Night On Town
Dancing with Harlots and Heroin: Embracing the Social Decay
Lyrics
I'm standing on the corner
I am at a street corner.
With a billfold for two
I have a wallet with money for two people.
Dashed in the finest couture
Dressed in the finest couture.
Well... I can't wait forever
I cannot wait indefinitely.
Just waiting for the light to change
Waiting for a traffic light to change.
For a civilized meal
Anticipating a civilized meal.
Dropping civilized names
Dropping names in a refined manner.
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
Rejecting the tactile sensation of a weathered dress.
No no no no no no no no
Emphatic refusal.
I'm standing on a corner
Reiterating my presence on the corner.
Light a smoke tell a joke
Lighting a cigarette, sharing a joke, commenting on societal decay.
Take a poke at the social decay
Expressing distaste for the tactile sensation of a weathered dress.
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
Repetition of refusal.
No no no no no no no no
Emphatic repetition of refusal.
When I can't feel the ground
Loss of physical connection to the ground.
Everybody knows I only dance with the harlots and the heroin
Admission of dancing only with harlots and heroin users.
Geeked up three ways to the weekend
Being under the influence for three days leading to the weekend.
And everybody knows its easier to lie up here.
Recognizing the ease of lying in this state.
Well they don't need that
Others do not require that lifestyle.
Oh baby! They don't need that
Reiteration of not needing such a lifestyle.
Because they know no better and do no wrong
Explanation that they know no better and do no wrong.
Show me your world show me the light
Request to reveal one's world and light.
Cause I don't need the way your weathered dress feels
Rejecting the tactile sensation of a weathered dress again.
No no no no no no no no
Emphatic repetition of refusal.
And I can't feel the ground
Repetition of loss of physical connection to the ground.
Everybody knows I only dance with the harlots and the heroin
Reiteration of exclusive dancing partners (harlots and heroin).
Geeked up three ways to the weekend
Repetition of being under the influence leading to the weekend.
And everybody knows its easier to lie up here.
Reiteration of the ease of lying in this state.
It's easier to lie up here
Stating the ease of lying in this state.
I can't wait to make you shake
Anticipation of causing someone to shake with misunderstood words and bodily reactions.
With the words misread and the bodies that quake
Expressing the presence of someone only in moments of personal downfall.
And you will only be there when I fall
Anticipation of causing someone to shake again.
I can't wait to make you shake
Repetition of the anticipation of causing someone to shake.
With the words misread and the bodies that quake
Repetition of the presence of someone only in moments of personal downfall.
And you will only be there when I fall
Repetition of the anticipation of causing someone to shake again.
Everybody knows…
Generalization that everyone knows these aspects.
Everybody knows I only dance with the harlots and the heroin
Reiteration of exclusive dancing partners (harlots and heroin).
Geeked up three ways to the weekend
Repetition of being under the influence leading to the weekend.
And everybody knows its easier to die up here.
Reiteration of the ease of dying in this state.
